Echoes from Mountain and Valley.
THE pEMIaEwAssEr, PLYMOUTH, N. II

THE PEMIGEwAssET, PLYMOUTH, N. IL.
This house has begun the season I'M
der the most favorable circumstances
and 1t will not be for lack Of hospitali-
ty on the part of Mr.. c. IL. Marden,
the popular manager, and his corps of
able assistants, II 1t is not success.
The well known face Of Fred Adams,
the genial clerk, is again seen in the Of
fee, also Myron BROMLEY, formerly of
the Windsor House, Manchester, and
William Butterfeld as book-keeper.
G. A. Stevens is steward, to whom we
can render no greater compliment than
to say that no house in the mountain
region sets better table than the one
over whose cuisine he presides. The
head waiter with his small army of
uninterrupted young ladies form a
pleasing feature of the dining hall.
Mrs. Corwin, lady of much expert
ence both here and at the Bermudas is
housekeeper. fra
Already nearly hundred arrivals are
booked and the house is fast being fill
ed. An excellent orchestra is in at
tendance for the benefit Of those who
wish to "skip the light fantastic" or
those more sedate persons who prefer
to sit on the broad piazzas and make
up pleasant tete-a-tete OF smoke, while
strains from the dreamy waltz come
floating out on the night and lends a
peculiar romantic charm to the scene.
The nights here are just right for
good healthy sleeping, being neither SO
cold as to require an abundance of bed
clothes, or so hot as to necessitate 60
ing without them. This makes it very
desirable for those who come here for
rest and recreation. Few summer ho-
tells can offer greater inducements to
the artist and sightseer than this one.
1t will be safe to say that no place in
the mountain or valley region is sketch
ed by SO great number of persons as
the famous Livermore Falls. A de-
lightful drive of two miles brings one
to these falls where the stool and UNI
brella of the artist may be seen perch
ed in almost every place where there is
room for them. Another place much
frequented by the seeker after the
beautiful in nature is Mt. Prospect,
and certainly the prospect from this
eminence is one of the most beauti-
full we ever saw. 1t is beyond all pow
er of description and must be seen to
be in any degree appreciated. How
tame and inadequate mere words seem
to us when we wish to portray on pa
per the sublime and grand in nature.
To stand and drink the beauty our
selves then, and commend it to the no.
tice of others is all we can do. Among
other points of interest it may be well
to mention the fact that the building
in which Webster made his maiden
speech is situated in this village. 1t is
a small, one story building and is still |
in good condition. 1t is now fittingly |
used as library, but remains in every |
respect as when the youthful orator
over half century ago addressed the
people of this place, and they do well
TO point it out with pride to the visitor.
As hint to young admirers and fol-
lowers of the great statesman l repeat
The suggestion Of a friend who invited
ne to 60 with him, and lean against
The building with the hope that we
night draw some inspiration from it.
We did SO, but hope those who fol-
ow us will be blessed with greater
propcnsities than we were,
or despite our leaning neither of us
re conscious of any great increase in
or otherwise.
have mentioned only few points
# interest, easy of access from the
oemigewasset, but there are many 9th
rs which time and space forbid de.
cription of and will reserve for some
'uture letter. l forgot to mention that
he guests of the house were presented
asst week with souvenir bills of fare,
N the corner of which were miniature
photographs of the above mentioned
ouse and the famous falls.
One Raymond excursion has pene-
rated into the mountains thus early,
nd were handsomely dined at this
ouse. Last Saturday the Massachu-
etts Press Association to the number
about one hundred and seventy-hve
lade this their hating place for din
er, and went on their way rejoicing.
Barnum, having plastered the town
Ii over with bills some two weeks
nee, will startle the natives with the
greatest show on earth" the 9th of
lis month.
